After meeting with pharma lobbyists, Trump drops promise to negotiate drug prices

VOX is such a piece of shit. They literally only highlighted the parts of Trump's quote that support the headline he "dropped his promise". If you read the whole quote, he did nothing of the sort. "I'll oppose anything that makes it harder for smaller, younger companies to take the risk of bringing their product to a vibrantly competitive market. That includes price-fixing by the biggest dog in the market, Medicare, which is what's happening. But we can increase competition and bidding wars, big time. So what I want, we have to get lower prices, we have to get even better innovation and I want you to move your companies back into the United States. And I want you to manufacture in the United States. We're going to be lowering taxes, we're going to be getting rid of regulations that are unnecessary." This echo chamber makes me think all of you have a Trump related mental illness. I work in drug pricing. They are VERY nervous about Trump. Still are after this meeting. MORE nervous. Did VOX not hear??? He is going to open up bidding on the Medicare formulary. Many of you might need the drugs he's going buying for the feds at a cheaper rate in the near future. This comment section is f*%king absurd. Who do you think Medicare is? That is HHS....that is Price and Trump.
